Go all out for 18 March demonstrations

Tickets were sold for the coach to the demonstration in London on 18 March.

All those attending were encouraged to join a day of action in the town centre this Saturday to build for the demonstration.

The same evening saw 80 people listen to speakers including former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg at a Manchester SUTR rally.

In Ealing, west London, some 50 people also joined a meeting with speakers including Labour MP Rupa Huq. And 35 people joined a rally in Redbridge, east London. Rallies were also held last week in Nottingham, Tower Hamlets in east London and Haringey in north London.

This week was set to see rallies in Chesterfield, Walthamstow and Leytonstone in north east London, Hammersmith in west London and Elephant and Castle in south London.

A day of Europe-wide action

Socialists across Europe have vowed to mobilise for the anti-racist protests.

“We pledge to build these protests on the largest possible scale and appeal to socialists and anti-racists everywhere to join us in these efforts.”

As well as the Socialist Workers Party in Britain, this includes revolutionary socialists building resistance to a wave of racism and fascism across Europe.

In the Netherlands the march will come days after an election where the racist populist Geert Wilders could make a breakthrough.

In France it follows protests against horrifying police brutality and as the Nazi Marine Le Pen campaigns for the presidency. In Greece it comes amid the trial of the fascist Golden Dawn and the locking out of thousands of refugees in detention camps.
